Textbook Turnover – Textbook Buying and Selling Habits

Textbooks. In high school, books were free. You would pick up the books at the beginning of the year and return them at the end of the year. No money ever exchanged hands. However, unfortunately, that all changes when you attend college. Textbooks are no longer free in college. Instead, you have to purchase multiple books every term. The cost of textbooks can leave your wallet empty every term. And, when it is time to sell back your books, you’ll only get a fraction of what you paid.

College textbooks are a huge expense and the price seems to increase every year. Our friends at ValoreBooks have put together a great infographic to help you understand the cost and selling of textbooks.
